Hip-Hop Video Clips DVD - 'Preserving Efforts' Vol 1' Set For Late November Release

From Australia, to the US, Netherlands, England and Canada, artists from every corner of the globe live their lives centred around the sound force that is hip hop music. Fourteen of these artists, have taken their music one step further by investing a pile of time and money to produce a world class video clip. Artists putting creative vision to their music is what has inspired the 'Preserving Efforts' concept to be born.

A project 2 years in the making, Jasmatuph Creations (also responsible for therapcella.com) are thrilled that Preserving Efforts volume 1 is finally complete and available to music fans far and wide. Featuring 14 innovative clips from around the world, including Atmosphere (US), Guru (US), Def Tex (ENG), Pete Philly & Perquisite (NED), Wordburglar (CAN), Preserving Efforts volume 1 also includes clips by 7 Australian artists including Bliss N Eso, Koolism, Muphin, TZU, Urthboy and many more. Furthermore, 13 of the 14 clips included have never before appeared in DVD format.

An Australian first in music DVDs, additional to showcasing the musical and visionary talents, the DVD gives additional information about each clip beyond what is traditionally public knowledge. By illustrating the different budget constraints artists work to being anywhere from $100 to $50,000 spent on creating a killer video clip, Preserving Efforts aims to educate as much as it does entertain.

Also included with each clip is a full list of credits; including director, the duration of time spent making each clip and the filming location, completed with an original 3D animated menu. For fans of Australian rapper Muphin, his clip 'A Better Man' features exclusively on Preserving Effort volume 1. Adding to this already impressive project, is the original background music produced by highly regarded Australian producers Plutonic Lab and Osinaka.

Preserving Efforts was created as an outlet for rap music fans to view some quality music video clips but became much more, with over 150 hours being put into developing the unique end result. With all artists thrilled to be involved in this release, Preserving Efforts stands as hip hop's definitive DVD, paying homage to the music industry's too-often neglected art form. A must for every hip hop, music and visual arts lover.
